Apparatus and method for processing multi-omics data for discovering new drug candidate substance

An apparatus for processing data for discovering a new drug candidate substance, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive one or more omics levels from among a plurality of omics levels that make up omics in an omics database (DB) and one or more types of mutual association degrees from among a plurality of types of mutual association degrees that make up the omics in the omics DB;
• select, from the omics DB, a first DB for the one or more omics levels and a second DB for the one or more types of mutual association degrees, the first DB including first data about each omics level of the one or more omics levels, and the second DB including second data about each type of mutual association degree of the one or more types of mutual association degrees;
• generate a first matrix composed of the first DB and the second DB, the first matrix having the one or more omics levels disposed on each of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis and the one or more types of mutual association degrees displayed at points where the horizontal axis and the vertical axis intersect;
• extract, from the first matrix, a plurality of biological entities related to a predetermined search word and degrees of mutual associations between the plurality of biological entities which are related to the predetermined search word;
• and
• generate a multi-omics network in which a plurality of nodes including the plurality of biological entities are connected according to the degrees of mutual associations between the plurality of biological entities,
• wherein a portion of the plurality of biological entities are included in different omics levels from remaining biological entities of the plurality of biological entities.

A non-transitory recording medium in which a computer-readable program is recorded in order to execute a data processing method which includes:

• receiving, through a user interface, one or more omics levels from among a plurality of omics levels that make up omics in an omics database (DB);
• receiving, through the user interface, one or more types of mutual association degrees from among a plurality of types of mutual association degrees that make up the omics in the omics DB;
• selecting, from the omics DB, a first DB for the one or more omics levels and a second DB for the one or more types of mutual association degrees, the first DB including first data about each omics level of the one or more omics levels, and the second DB including second data about each type of mutual association degree of the one or more types of mutual association degrees;
• generating a first matrix composed of the first DB and the second DB, the first matrix having the one or more omics levels disposed on each of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis and the one or more types of mutual association degrees displayed at points where the horizontal axis and the vertical axis intersect;
• receiving, through the user interface, a predetermined search word;
• extracting, from the first matrix, a plurality of biological entities related to the predetermined search word and degrees of mutual associations between the plurality of biological entities which are related to the predetermined search word;
• and
• generating a multi-omics network in which a plurality of nodes including the plurality of biological entities are connected according to the degrees of mutual associations between the plurality of biological entities,
• wherein a portion of the plurality of biological entities are included in different omics levels from remaining biological entities of the plurality of biological entities.
